‘Heralded today as a classic among early talkies, Applause is a showcase for the talents of torch singer Helen Morgan, who plays fading burlesque star Kitty Darling. Director Rouben Mamoulian energizes this backstage melodrama with his gritty representation of the bright, noisy realities of burlesque and an innovative use of the nascent sound-recording technology at Paramount's Astoria studio.’ Mimi Brody, UCLA Film and Television Archive
